"Alright, everyone, say less. Old Huang, you guys need to be more careful too. The neighborhood committee will probably come knocking on our door to urge us to leave these next few days. If we can't find work, we'll probably have to go to the countryside. If this drags on any longer, it will inevitably affect our courtyard."
After hearing this, Grandpa Huang, who had been silent until now, frowned but finally nodded and said, "I understand."
Having said that, he couldn't stay there any longer and turned around to go back inside.
Seeing this, Aunt Ren followed.
Seeing that there was nothing to watch, the others went back to rest.
However, tonight is destined to be anything but peaceful.
Not long after Su He returned home, she heard what sounded like an argument next door. She could faintly hear Aunt Ren crying, Uncle Huang cursing, and a young man shouting.
They were saying something like "favoritism".
The argument went on for a long time without stopping, and I guess other people in the courtyard heard it. Finally, we heard the sound of a door opening on the other side, which meant that someone from Grandpa Niu's family had come out and tried to persuade them to stop.
Su He and Lin Jingyan lay in bed, not feeling sleepy. When they heard no more noise outside, Lin Jingyan hugged her and whispered, "Go to sleep quickly, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
Su He nodded. "You too."
But before going to sleep, she was still thinking that this tenement courtyard was indeed full of things to do...
The next day, when Su He got up to go to work, she saw Aunt Ren with swollen eyes cooking. She guessed that Aunt Ren hadn't rested well. After seeing her, Su He noticed that Aunt Ren was wearing a police uniform and her expression turned even worse.
He simply turned and left, pretending not to see her.
This left Su He completely bewildered. What did she mean by this? Did she mean that just because her son couldn't find a job, she was going to hate everyone who had one?
Su He ignored her and rode her bike to work.
Not long after I arrived at work, I heard some news.
The General Administration wants to transfer someone from their police station!
This person is definitely not her.
It was Zhou Yan.
Yes, Zhou Yan is the only college graduate in their police station. Normally, based on his qualifications, he wouldn't be assigned to such a small unit right after graduation. However, since his household registration is not in Beijing, he was assigned to their police station as a temporary measure.
Given his good performance over the past two years, it was only a matter of time before he was transferred, and everyone was prepared for it.
People strive for better things in life. Although his colleagues were reluctant to see him go, they were happy for him and gave him their blessings when he finished his procedures and left.
Zhou Yan was actually quite happy. This transfer not only gave him a promotion, but also meant he would be in charge of more important work.
Hearing his colleague's words, he was touched but also reluctant to part ways. "Don't worry, even though I've been transferred, I'm still in Beijing. Maybe we'll meet again in the future."
Hearing this, Wang Fugui said, "That makes sense. Maybe when our police station requests support from headquarters in the future, it will be Zhou Yan who comes."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, but the office felt a bit quieter with one less person.
At this moment, Su He suddenly thought of Li Yi. He was also a college student. How did he end up in their unit?
So he asked Sun Dahai, "Zhou Yan was assigned to our police station because of his household registration, but what about Li Yi?"
"Him? I heard he had good grades in school and could have been assigned to the General Administration, but he offended someone and ended up here."
But he was lucky; not long after he arrived, the family of the person he had offended ran into trouble. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll be transferred after a few years.
"Ah, I see."
Hearing these words, Su He felt sorry for him and wondered how he was doing over there, so she asked Aunt Liu about it during dinner.
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "It's alright. He wrote home a while ago and has settled down. He's just not married yet. I don't know what that girl is thinking. Xiao Yi went there for her, and she still doesn't agree to get married."
Su He listened thoughtfully, perhaps not wanting to be implicated.
However, knowing that Li Yi was doing well, she was relieved.
After all, Li Yi had helped her a lot since she came to the police station, and she hoped that he could get what he wanted.
